Haereg was an archmaester who wrote the exhaustive History of the Ironborn.
History
Haereg suggested that the ancestors of the ironborn were not First Men, but instead a race of unknown origin from beyond the Sunset Sea who created the Seastone Chair, but he ultimately rejected the idea for lack of evidence.[1] Archmaester Hake believed the the kings of House Hoare were ungodly men, but Haereg believed they were resented by the ironborn because of their tolerance for the Faith of the Seven.[2]
Recent Events
A Feast for Crows
Lord Rodrik Harlaw reads Haereg's book before departing for the kingsmoot to get background information on the subject. Haereg believes it has been 4,000 years since the last kingsmoot, whereas Maester Denestan believes it is 2,000.[3]
